Episode 66: Exploring Psychedelics & Sobriety’s Roles As Two Sides of the Same Coin (feat. Amy Edwards)
Episode description
As I have often talked about on this show, connecting with plant medicines & psychedelics alike without the necessary step of integration is synonymous with the idea of asking someone for directions & then ignoring the directions they give to you. Without integration, we are unable to fully “receive” the messages our PEAK experiences with these medicines have the opportunity to give us & as a result, we risk missing out on the gems of wisdom that could potentially help us change our day to day, sober realities long after our PEAK experiences with these plants have concluded. Todays guest on the show is someone who has connected with plant medicines & psychedelics alike while simultaneously employing & focusing upon the concept of integration within her experiences & as a result, has not only been able to have profound shifts in her life, but has also been able to “hang up the phone” as Terrance McKenna famously stated, enter sobriety in her life & use that sobriety as the ultimate tool to allow for further integration of all of the plant medicine & psychedelic experiences she has had within her life. She is the host of the Amy Edwards show, which is a show dedicated to helping its listeners transform their lives & become their best & most rocking version of themselves through more efficient & effective habits, mindset shifts & radical honesty & is a radio personality, a mother & a rock & roll musician who has released a total of 5 albums as a solo artist & if all of that wasn’t enough, she is also the author of two books & in todays show, we will be exploring her experiences with psychedelics, what her major downloads & insights have been within these medicines, her favorite integration practices, her experience with sobriety as a psychedelic experience in & of itself & much, much more.
